Abstract: A shell includes a body part, a thickened part connected to the body part and arranged at the opening of the shell, at least a portion of the thickened part having a wall thickness larger than that of the body part, in which the thickened part is provided with a support part for supporting the cover that closes the opening.

Abstract: A housing of a battery cell has an opening at an end in a first direction and includes a first side plate, a second side plate and a first connection plate. The first side plate and the second side plate are arranged in a circumferential direction of the opening, the first connection plate is connected between the first side plate and the second side plate, and at least a part of the first connection plate is arcuate. The first side plate includes a first plate portion, a second plate portion and a third plate portion, the second plate portion is connected between the first plate portion and the first connection plate, and the third plate portion is located at a side of the first plate portion close to the opening.

Abstract: A battery cell includes a housing having an opening at an end along a first direction, an electrode assembly contained in the housing and having a main body and a tab connected to the main body, and an end cap configured for covering the opening. The housing includes a first side plate having a first plate portion and a second plate portion both arranged along the first direction. The second plate portion is located at an end of the first plate portion near the opening, and a thickness of the second plate portion is greater than a thickness of the first plate portion. An end of the second plate portion near the first plate portion extends beyond the welded portion in the first direction. The main body does not overlap with the second plate portion in a thickness direction for the first side plate.

Abstract: This application provides a current collecting member, a secondary battery, and a fabrication method. The secondary battery includes an electrode assembly, a housing, a top cover assembly and current collecting members. The electrode assembly includes a main body portion and a first tab extending from an end of the main body portion along a transverse direction. The top cover assembly includes a top cover plate and a first electrode terminal disposed on the top cover plate connected to the housing. The current collecting member is connected to the first tab and the first electrode terminal. The current collecting member includes a substrate and a support plate, the substrate being provided at a side of the main body portion along a transverse direction, the support plate extending from an end part of the substrate in a longitudinal direction, and the first tab being connected to the support plate.

Abstract: A battery cell, a battery, and an electrical device are provided. The battery cell comprises: a case with an opening; an electrode assembly accommodated within the case; and an end cover closing the opening, wherein the end cover is in sealed connection with the case through a first connection area and a second connection area, the strength of the first connection area is less than the strength of the second connection area, and the first connection area is configured to be actuated to release an internal pressure of the battery cell when the internal pressure exceeds a threshold. The battery cell, battery, and electrical device provided in the present application are capable of reducing the manufacturing cost of battery cells while ensuring the safety of batteries, and further reducing the assembly processes of the battery cells.

Abstract: A battery unit includes: an electrode assembly, including a main body portion, and a negative tab and a positive tab, which respectively extend out from both ends of the main body portion along the length direction; a negative terminal and a positive terminal, arranged at the top of the electrode assembly; a first current collector for electrically connecting the negative tab with the negative terminal; and a second current collector for electrically connecting the positive tab with the positive terminal. The first current collector includes a first guiding plate. The first guiding plate is of a flat plate structure, and the negative tab is bent to one side of the first guiding plate away from the main body portion and is connected with the first guiding plate.
